Thebes, known to ancient Egyptians as Waset, was a city on the eastern bank of the Nile and the one-time capital of Egypt during the Middle and New Kingdom periods. It resided across the river from the Valley of the Kings and was home to a cult of Amun which operated out of Karnak.
Sometime around 38 BCE, the city was plagued by a "curse", wherein various deceased pharaohs from the New Kingdom were brought back from the dead, terrorizing and killing civilians in the cities. The news of these events eventually reached the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa and his ex-wife Amunet.
